Subject: [Elecraft] K4 Rx is awesome...
I’ve been using my K4 at 100W (per the FD rules) this afternoon on several
bands.
I am 1D OR.
I can hear many many stations but hardly any of them can hear me.
To me, this means that the K4 Rx is bomb-proof, sensitive
to be adjusted correctly for maximum effect.

CW is also the only way to go for pedestrian mobile FD, which I did for a
couple of hours while hiking on Saturday. Even with a 4' whip and 5 watts I was
working almost every station I called. I stopped long enough to log each QSO so
my printing would be legible.
Of course this is not the way

I gave up on all SSB contesting long ago. To my ears and preferences,
it's just a pile of gibberish with maybe one very strong/clear signal
every 10-20Kc. Not worth it. CW is the only way to contest IMHO. While
I've never operated QRP, I suspect that I'm headed in that direction, also.
Some practices vary with the type of contact—casual, contest, organized program
(SOTA/POTA), event (JOTA, Field Day), DXpedition—and some are just good
practices. This document is a good consensus description, with a lean towards
contesting and DXpedition practices. It is called “Ethics and
I tried driving out to my local ham fest location as indicated on the ARRL
website, but no one was there, and then went to the past site at the high
school football stadium. No one was there either.
I consider my self a newby, don’t even know the etiquette for contests or
“interrupting” some

idea as well.Keep pounding the brass in good health.

At W6BX, W6JTI and I, also octogenarians, worked you on at least one
band. We were QRP

Interesting conclusion.

I gave up on SSB on FD more than ten years ago. Instead, have been doing
FD QRP with W6GJB and W6JTI. There are still guys who haven't been on
the air in the year between, and some long

The most likely reason for this is operator inexperience, which is a perennial
problem on Field Day. It's great that lots of people who don't usually get on
the air, get on the air... but the side effect of this is a lot of
That falls more under the category of lore than science. By all
accounts the K4 has a terrific receiver, but of the several possible
reasons for what you experienced your receiver is at least a couple
notches down the list.

Two likely reasons. 1) their receive noise; 2) your antennas.
